The grant application is due by February 4, 2p16. CDHCD must receive the City Council-approved Resolution by March 4,2016.·

The HRPP, funded through the passage of Proposition 1 C, rewards local governments for developing new or rehabilitated residential affordable housing for low-income households. The HRPP funds are to be used for the creation or rehabilitation of park and recreation facilities, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of land, sport play fields, play areas, non-motorized recreational trails, play structures, outdoor recreation, and landscaping.

The Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department (HCIDLA) is instrumental in furthering the goals of the CDHCD by creating and/or rehabilitating much needed affordable housing throughout the City of Los Angeles. Through a long-standing collaboration with HCIDLA, which provides the affordable housing and supporting documentation needed to obtain the HRPP grant funding, RAP has increased andlor improved City park and recreation land having been the recipient of over $12.3 million in grant funds from the last four (4) HRPP rounds-2010 Program Year award $1,594,850; 2011 Program Year award $1,891,300; 2013 Program Year award $8,221,950; and 2014 Program Year award $612,150 (Council File Nos. 11-1378 and 14-0996).
